Mother of Trayvon Martin upset over Zimmerman bond

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The mother of Trayvon Martin says she was disappointed by a Florida judge's decision to give George Zimmerman another chance at posting bond and leaving prison before trial.

A judge granted Zimmerman bond Thursday for a second time, setting it at $1 million. His previous $150,000 bond was revoked after prosecutors presented evidence that he had misled the court about his finances. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in Martin's death.

Martin's family is in New Orleans to attend the Essence Music Festival, an annual musical extravaganza that also tackles themes of importance to African-Americans, such as education and the criminal justice system.
